The ongoing Trump saga

Her Congressional testimony may have been a wakeup call for Miss Hicks. Perhaps it finally dawned on her that she was part of an ongoing criminal conspiracy and prosecutable.

A good point.
Loyalty is a wonderful virtue, and I'm all for that, but it has to have limitations attached. She confessed, according to leaked reports from her testimony, that she told 'white lies' on behalf of her Boss the POTUS.

Although different in intensity the concept of loyalty to one's superior was disputed at the Nurenberg trials after WW2....

Thus, under Nuremberg Principle IV, "defense of superior orders" is not a defense for war crimes...
"The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him."

Maybe the young lady had a moral epiphany....:rolleyes:

The festering swamp otherwise known as the Trump administration is thankfully being drained, corpse by corpse. As has been said, 'in time, all foul things come forth' and we are seeing this occur with Dumbass Don and his supporting cast of the worst of the worst.
 
Hope Hicks has already left the building. I'm thinking she must have packed before the Congressional interview.....and so much for my naivety in thinking she may be ethical and have morals and principles......
According to news... publishers are lining her up to sign for a book deal. The latest bid is US$10M just to sign....and it opens to movies and other aspirations. Her boy friend (recently fired Rob Porter) and her must be laughing their socks off...but I fear for their lives. Unless Trump's lawyer has paid her a substantial sum from his own private account... like he did to the prostitute the Chump denied having ever known.

Hicks' information may not even be salacious.....so I don't think I'll be buying as I'm only interested in how big Chump's hands are...:biggrin1:

And yet another one jumps from the sinking ship....is there anyone left in this President's administration other than family and cleaners?

WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - Top White House economic adviser Gary Cohn, a Wall Street banker who opposes hefty steel and aluminum tariffs planned by U.S. President Donald Trump, said on Tuesday that he was resigning.
"It has been an honor to serve my country and enact pro-growth economic policies to benefit the American people, in particular the passage of historic tax reform. I am grateful to the President for giving me this opportunity and wish him and the Administration great success in the future," Cohn said in a statement issued by the White House.
His departure as director of the National Economic Council came after a little more than a year on the job.

He clearly didn't want his name to be in the history books as the person blamed for the collapse of the Global Market if Trump's recent import taxes starts a trade-war with all other nations.
 
Ya, the bald-headed guy; last of the none military types with at least 1/2 a brain. Jared now has no friends in the White House, excluding the Alec Baldwin impersonator.

Stormy is a sidebar plot; the thickening has more to do with the UAE businessman/go-between who has decided to turn state's evidence to save his own ass (or at least part of it).

I agree with Waarmy that the political and legal ramifications undermining this Potus is thickening but I suspect his base supporters are more inclined to read items of his sexual predilections.... as that indicates their general IQ and they probably don't care about this.
What may matter however is how the Republican Party stands on the issue.....and may be reflected in the November mid-terms.

What really matters about the Stormy story (and "grab them by the..." and others) is that the Right has totally lost any defensible position as the moral authority. Every day there isn't strong condemnation by anyone with an (R) just drives home this point.
 
Yes, there must be some sort of moral character continuum know only to Republicans that ranks a blow job in the Oval Office as much more egregious than a running extramarital affair with a prostitute.
 
Just witnessed an incredible thing on TV.
In front of the White House an emissary from South Korea made a statement to the American people, and the world that cares, that the President of the United States would meet with the Dictator of North Korea before May.
I imagine this Potus leaning back in his chair telling this Korean to go and speak to the American people on his behalf...coz' I'm busy eating my hot dog and watching Fox news..."Oh! and by the way...be very clear and tell them all the details...like my hot dog has all the trimmings."
Jeez America...I'm very, very sorry.
 
The thing that amazes me is how sick many Americans must be with their talking heads politicians of whichever brand. Blah blah blah blah blah............sound very polished and blah blah blah blah blah........but not much seems to change. So for many Donald Trump seems like a breath of fresh air from great political orators and mediocre ones as well. Question to them.......blah blah blah blah.....I hope I have not overstated the blahs. A lot of people seem fed up with professional politicians.

Most people are used to professional politicians and their predictable, pandering and often insincere behavior. It's the same everywhere. However, few would be used to an ignorant, narcissistic, 'dumb as shit' (per one of his cabinet members), massively corrupt, pathological liar who preys on their intellectual and emotional weaknesses, prejudices and darkest fears, as does Donald Trump. Whoever thinks that Trump is a breath of fresh air is just as ignorant and misguided as the orange blob himself.

Well the orange blob made it through a field of seasoned politicians and unless I am dreaming appears to have gained enough support to be in the White House and appears to still have a number of supporters (hate him or not).
 
PT Barnum: it's hard To go broke under estimating the intelligence of the American public.
 
I agree with all the adverse comments about Trump and I refuse to watch Fox because of the Trump coverage. I don't know if he will eventually be impeached but I do know that Trump as very good change to be the president that brought peace to the Korean peninsula.

Trump has an "ace up sleeve" that has long been sought by the North Koreans. That is a peace treaty to end the Korean war.I personally think Kim could make concessions to achieve this and to lift sanctions.

Trump's ego will determine the approach but I am sure he is well aware of his opportunity to leave a significant mark in history with his name on it.
 
Trump is going to give away the farm; all he cares about is the spectacle and personal aggrandizing notariety. The Kim Il Sung clan will play him like a like a well tuned fiddle.
 
Trump and Kim upcoming meeting.


This will be one of the most important decisions that the administration will have, ‘Where to have this meeting’ - lots of possibilities have been floated around by various political commentators such as the demilitarised zone in the Koreas, China, Russia, Switzerland a ship in international waters and now maybe in Washington.


Don’t think Kim will get a chance to play golf in Florida though.


I’ve been asking around to where people think the meeting should be held and it’s surprising the locations I’m given. Berlin, Paris, Hague, Bali, Canberra, Bern, Ibiza, Caesars Palace - Las Vegas, maybe Elon Musk’s space car .... the list goes on....
